We had a booth at the monthly First Saturday Market at the Houston Bicycle Museum. The museum was located in the heart of the museum district at 1313 Binz Street in Houston, TX, between Austin Street and Caroline Street until the owners of the land, did not extend the lease. The Holocaust Museum repurposed the land in order to expand.
Operating for a year, the First Saturday Market offered a variety of participating vendors (clothing, art, edibles, farmers produce, jewelry, bikes, food trucks, coffee, beer bus tour signups and more) to local community members and visitors to the museum and hospital districts.
The Houston Bicycle Museum, which usually opened a booth with bikes and other items for sale, also offered half price admission to the museum on market days. The First Saturday Market proceeds helped with operational costs of the museum. For more information, visit: www.HoustonBicycleMuseum.org.
About the museum:
Founded in 2010 by Joy Boone, owner of Boone’s Cycles, the museum is a 501©3 nonprofit dedicated to exhibiting collections of antique and classic bicycles and cycling related memorabilia from the mid 1850’s through the most sophisticated bicycles of today. The museum is a place where old meets new and where people who share a curiosity or passion for cycling can gather.
